The owl on the shoulders of the middle-aged woman is a demon beast named White-eyed Owl. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIts white eyes can see through the soul strength of the target, which is suitable for testing Zhou Chen's contractor qualifications.

After the white-eyed owl was woken up by its owner, he listened to her order and looked at Zhou Chen with both eyes. I saw a faint white light in his eyes, and in just an instant, he completed the detection of Zhou Chen, and informed the middle-aged woman of the results through soul contact.

"Well, it's confirmed, you're a one-star contractor. ”

The middle-aged woman nodded to Zhou Chen, and the words she said were mainly for the man with glasses. After she finished speaking, she directly exited room 201 and left here.

The man with glasses was not surprised by this. When he heard Zhou Chen's identity confirmed, he walked to a corner of the room and crouched down in front of a safe. After entering the fingerprint and password, the box was opened, revealing the contents inside.

In the safe are small black square boxes, a total of more than a dozen neatly arranged inside.

The man with glasses took out a pair of white gloves from his jacket pocket, put them on, reached into the safe, carefully removed a square box, and then closed the safe again.

Then, he sat back down at his computer and opened the little box.

Lying inside the box was a delicate electronic watch, he pressed a small button on it, the watch was activated, and the small round dial lit up with a soft and clear backlight.

Then, after a few taps on the computer keyboard, he seemed to have transmitted the information through wireless means, so he raised his head and said to Zhou Chen: "Wait a long time, your identity has been authenticated, this is your contractor's watch." Please check your watch carefully before you accept it, and if there are no problems, sign this document. ”

Saying this, the man with glasses gently pushed the small square box containing the electronic watch and presented it in front of Zhou Chen. At the same time, he took out a document paper from the drawer and pushed it in front of Zhou Chen.

"No problem. ”

After taking the watch out of the box and putting it on his left wrist, Zhou Chen played with it for a few minutes and signed Li Hai's name on the document.

"Well, thank you, goodbye. ”

Taking away the small black square box and putting it in his backpack, Zhou Chen left room 201.

"If you come to someone who doesn't understand anything, you will probably be confused. ”

Walking into the elevator, Zhou Chen continued to study the watch on his left hand. Because of his familiarity with the original book, he knows very well how valuable this small watch is.

Don't look at it small, but it contains a series of functions such as identity certificates, bank accounts, communication devices, monster illustrated books, etc. It is made of special materials, waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, and even bulletproof. Usually rely on solar charging, once fully charged, it can be used for a long time, and there is no need to worry about battery life.

"If I go to the contractor's school, I'm afraid the first class will be to learn how to use this watch. ”

Zhou Chen didn't worry that he wouldn't use it, because there was an instruction manual in the small square box containing the watch, and he should have learned it after spending some time reading it.

After returning to the first floor, Zhou Chen went through the accommodation procedures and got a room card for room 416.

Taking the elevator again, Zhou Chen found his room.

In the room was a single large bed, Zhou Chen put down his backpack, took off his coat, and threw himself on the bed.

"This bed is quite soft, it seems that the alliance does treat contractors preferentially, and even this kind of free accommodation is better than ordinary hotels. ”

Zhou Chen now has the official status of a contractor, and in this supply center, he can stay as long as he wants, and it is completely free.

Even, he can eat three meals a day in the restaurant on the first floor, and he also provides them to the contractor for free. It's just that the dishes won't be very luxurious, at most they will be of an upper-middle level.

"I didn't expect to come to Thorn Island just in time for the annual insect hunting conference. ”

When Zhou Chen checked in, he inquired about some news on the island by the way, and learned that two days later, it was the day when Thorn Island held an insect trapping conference.

Ordinary people are not allowed to participate in this insect trapping conference, because this event is aimed at contractors, and the insects caught are not ordinary creatures, but insects and monsters.

The prizes of the insect trapping conference have been relatively generous over the years. For example, last year, the winning contractor was rewarded with a fire-attribute crystal, the size of a baby's fist, which was used to cultivate fire-attribute demon beasts, and the effect was very obvious.

Because of the abundant rewards, in the recent days, there have been contractors from other places who have come to Thorn Island to participate in the insect trapping conference. Most of them also stayed in the supply center, so Zhou Chen wasn't the only contractor who lived here.

"The insect trapping conference is basically playing at home. ”

After Zhou Chen used the contractor's watch to connect to the Internet, he quickly accessed the official website of Thorn Island and read the rules of the insect trapping conference.

The conference stipulates that the contractors participating in the competition must use their own demon pets to defeat the target insect monster, but they cannot kill them, they can only capture them. At the end of the game, whoever catches the insect monster with the highest rarity wins. For those with the same rarity, the one with the best qualification potential wins.

"It's a playhouse, but I can also go and join in the fun. ”

The official kept the prizes of the competition confidential, which made Zhou Chen also a little curious, anyway, it didn't matter if he was there, it didn't hurt to go to see the game or even participate in person.

"But before I can do that, I'll have to get my first pet. ”

Zhou Chen decided in his heart that he would start preparing for the subduing of the demon pet tomorrow.

"Now, then, let me see the so-called meditation technique. ”

The Contractor's watch was originally filled with a copy of the Basic Meditation Technique, which was one of the basic benefits given to all Contractors by the East China Sea Alliance.

Zhou Chen put the watch close to his mouth and said in a voice-activated voice: "Open the Basic Meditation Technique." ”

Drip!

The watch has a high recognition rate of language, and it reacts instantly, only to see its round dial backlight flash, and suddenly magnified several times, projected in the air, and completed the virtual imaging.

The distance between the two is intelligently controlled by the watch, and with the movement of Zhou Chen's head, it will be captured by a tiny sensor device on the watch, and then the position of the transparent light curtain will be adjusted to match Zhou Chen's movements, so that he can always view information at a comfortable angle and reduce eye fatigue.

At this moment, Zhou Chen was lying on his back on the bed, raising his left hand, and looking at the light curtain projected by the watch. There is a dense text on it, which records the complete cultivation method of the "Basic Meditation Technique".

"I see. ”

It took nearly two hours, and after carefully reading it twice, Zhou Chen basically understood how to practice the "Basic Meditation Technique".

He closed his eyes, remained on his back, and went straight to trying.

After more than an hour, Zhou Chen opened his eyes and exhaled: "Cool!"

Practicing the Basic Meditation Technique did not burden him at all, but made him refreshed and his soul stable.

This effect is similar to when he practiced Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong, except that Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong is more about relaxing the physical body, while Basic Meditation is completely aimed at the soul.

"In the future, whether it is mana or soul power, there will be cultivation methods, and you can go hand in hand, but the "Basic Meditation Technique" is still a little worse, and it is best to get a profound meditation technique. ”

Zhou Chen knew that he was a little bit long, so he put aside this idea for the time being and continued to practice the Basic Meditation Technique.

......

Early the next morning, after Zhou Chen got dressed up, he went down to the first floor, and after preparing to finish breakfast, he went out for a walk to learn about the surrounding environment.

Ding dong!

At this moment, the door of the supply center opened, and a teenager rushed in.

Zhou Chen saw that the young man's hands were holding a light blue lizard, presumably a demon beast, but at this moment it was covered in blood and in a coma.

The boy held the lizard and ran to the front desk and shouted, "Treat!

"If you're going to be treated, go to the second floor, where there's a demon veterinarian. ”

The two women behind the service desk also changed color when they saw the seriously injured ice lizard, and it was the first time they had seen such a badly injured demon beast.

"Second floor, yes, second floor!"

The boy then remembered that the treatment area of the supply center was generally on the second floor, and he hurriedly ran to the elevator again.

"Wounded like this, it must have been through a battle?"

Zhou Chen, who happened to witness this scene, didn't pay too much attention to it, and prepared to continue walking towards the restaurant.

Ding dong!

The sound of the door opening sounded again, and another teenager ran in in a panic. And in his arms, he also held a demon beast that was bleeding and not lightly injured.

The difference is that the teenager is not dazed, he still remembers that he has to go to the second floor to treat the demon pet. So, instead of going to the service desk to ask, he didn't choose to use the elevator, but ran straight to the stairs.

"It's a wind rabbit?"

Zhou Chen saw the demon beast in the arms of the second young man clearly, his brows furrowed, and he felt that something was wrong.

It's okay to encounter a serious injury to a demon beast once in a while, but it's not normal for this kind of thing to happen continuously.

"Could it be that someone maliciously played a heavy hand in the demon pet battle?"

There was a guess about this, Zhou Chen didn't go out to inquire out of curiosity, he still walked to the restaurant and solved the breakfast problem first.
